An Eritrean-CanadiaN has written two books that have rattled the Mormon Church and are threatening to sue him. The Author, Embaye Melekin, wrote a book titled "80 Reasons why the Book of Mormon is an African Bible" and also "The African Bible" claiming that the Book of Mormon is an African Bible. Megan McGrath, Correlation-Intellectial Property manager of LDS is in the process of sueing Embaye Melekin for "falsely claiming that the Book of Mormon was written in Eritrea" contrary to what the Mormon Church teaches. Many LDS members have read the books and are hammering the church with so many questions and many are convinced that the Book of Mormon is in deed an African Bible and was written in Eritrea, in East Africa. see his books below:

The main Salt Lake-based CoJCoLDS has no legal ownership of the Book of Mormon proper, and never has had any. Brigham may have tried to claim that his offshoot was the "true" church, but there was no legal basis for it. All that CoJCoLDS really owns is the copyright on some of the more modern chapter headings and summaries.

The OP sounds like click-bait, trying to drum up traffic to the silliness of this story of some African origin for the Book of Mormon.
